At the library today I ordered a hot chocolate. Nothing special, but I spent all morning looking forward to my treat. The lady who made it was distracted. She seemed sad and she tried several times to get a conversation going. But I was also distracted and only vaguely participated. This has bugged me all day because I wonder how many people I come across and just look through; not because of who they are, but because I am so caught up in my own personal musings…I guess this was just another one of those too.
I had a similar experience today in the airport (I am now home) when a man checked my passport and boarding pass, trying to engage a conversation. I thought it about the entire time on the drive back to the city. It’s interesting that you wrote about this thought on the same day!
